Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EDI 846 Inventory Report?
The EDI 846 is used to exchange inventory information between trading partners. It can show on-hand quantities, available stock, committed inventory, stock by warehouse location, and inventory by lot number. The 846 supports vendor-managed inventory (VMI) programs and automated replenishment.
When would I use an 846 inventory file?
You'll use 846 files when retailers require regular inventory updates (daily or weekly stock reports), for vendor-managed inventory programs where suppliers monitor retailer stock levels, or when sharing warehouse inventory positions with distribution partners.
What is the difference between On-Hand and Available quantities?
Quantity On-Hand is the total physical inventory in the warehouse. Quantity Available is stock that can be sold (On-Hand minus Committed/Allocated quantities). The 846 can include both, which PlainEDI extracts into separate CSV columns for easy analysis.
Can the 846 include multiple warehouse locations?
Yes, the 846 can include inventory quantities for multiple warehouse locations or distribution centers. PlainEDI extracts location identifiers (N1 segment) so you can see inventory broken down by facility in the CSV export.
